Daily Prayer for December 8th, 2018

Good morning, God—thank You! 🙂

When I turned to You and surrendered, my life was never the same. Now, I live with You completely at peace, aware of Your love. <3 I acknowledge You through all my ways, as You make my paths straight. Thank You, Father, for guiding me, and comforting me on my journey home. In Jesus name. Amen.

Matthew 16:24-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done.

Romans 12:1 English Standard Version (ESV)

A Living Sacrifice

12 I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

Proverbs 3:5-6 English Standard Version (ESV)

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make straight your paths.
